The latest COBOL offering from Micro Focus is the Visual COBOL product line. This supersedes Net Express 5.1.
We have a personal edition of this product that you can download and use for free, if you would like to take a look.
Please go to main mage of microfocus.com and search for Visual COBOL PE. This will take you to a registration page for the PE product.
Thanks.
what is the difference between "Server for COBOL" , "Server for SOA"? also the list price?
thank...
Server for COBOL is the basic run-time system for deploying COBOL applications.
Server for SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) also includes the Enterprise Server components which allows you to deploy your COBOL applications as Web Services using SOAP.
Please contact your Account Manager for pricing.
I am not sure what it is that you are looking for. Do you wish to use Fileshare on a separate server machine or on the local machine so that you could implement transaction logging?
To use Fileshare remotely you would need to install and license the Server for COBOL product on the server where you wish Fileshare to be running. Your files should also be located on that server.
The configuration for Fileshare would depend on how you wish to access the files from your application and whether or not you wish to have some files accessed thru Fileshare and some files accessed locally.
Please read through the Fileshare documentation and if you have any specific questions then please post them here.
Thanks.
I am not really sure what it is you are asking for here. A PERFORM of a paragraph has nothing to do with copy statements. COPY statements are handled by the CP (copybook preprocessor) and are expanded automatically when passed to the checker for compiling. This is how they can be show as included in the source listing. You can also expand these within the NX IDE.
You cannot do the same with PERFORM statements as these are actual COBOL statements that execute a section of code in the procedure division.
There is no way to tell the compiler to automatically change a perform para to an in-line perform for example. This is something you would have to do manually.
Thanks.
We use Windows Small Bussiness Server 2003 and Netexpress 5.1. The FILESHARE works perfect as described in the documentation. If a file/record is locked I receive the file Status 9/65 or 9/68 indicating this Situation. But besides this Status, is there any way or API to know Information about who has the lock? I Need the Name of the terminal or user in order to inform who is locking the file or record.
Hi Cris,
I want to use fileshare on a file-server.
I have defined it on the Server and Client, but on open i get 9/24
Hello drpereyra:
OUTDD is a compiler directive. You would specify OUTDD when compiling a COBOL program. It would change the behavior of the program. When OUTDD is specified, all format 1 DISPLAY statements which either have no UPON option or specify UPON SYSOUT, and all EXHIBIT statements and the output from TRACE are transformed into WRITE statements, writing to a file with the specified external filename.
You cannot use OUTDD to change the behavior of mfsort, because mfsort is not a COBOL program that you can compile. If you cannot compile, there is no chance to specify the OUTDD compiler directive.
The output file of an mfsort (from the GIVE <output-file>) is by default a file on disk named SYSOUT. You can control this by specifying the SYSOUT environment variable.
Example:
SYSOUT=mfsort_output_18102016
export SYSOUT
mfsort <parameters>
The output from the mfsort will be written to a file on disk named "mfsort_output_18102016".
Hi
sorry, I not speak very good English but I understand to read.
my work environment is under Solaris 9-10 with Server Express 5.0. and my problem is how redirect the SYSOUT to a file in mfsort.
I am confused if I change OUTDD -> NOOUTDD on Solaris (UNIX pseudo)
and where I should change it.
thank you very much.
Hi,
Net Express 5.1 Wrap pack 11 runs fine in windows 7 64bits, I'm working with that OS several years ago without problems.
You don't need XP mode.
regards,
Does Net Express run in XP mode with Windows 7 64-bit OS?
thank you very much, it is the method I am using.
A 9/24 means:
COBRT024 Disk input-output error (Recoverable)
Perhaps it is not assigning the file to the correct location?
I would recommend that you try setting this up with a real simple file and a test program before just trying to move your entire application to use fileshare.
Under Unix there is a wholock command that can tell you this but under Windows I do not know of an equivalent.
You might look at using the fsview utility in order to see which users currently have the file open in fileshare.
Sorry it was 9/124
I have reported an incident by Support line
Thanks, so far

Bom dia, preciso urgente de uma ajudar dos amigos coboleiros,
Hoje eu gero vários XML para transações em meu sistema, porém a partir de dezembro serei obrigado assinar o XML com um certificado, estou usando o NetExpress 3.1 e não encontrei nada e nem o suportline da microfocos conseguiu me ajudar, alias pediu para colocar na comunidade.
Tenho que desenvolver isso no NetExpress 3.1, mesmo que já compramos a licença do Visual Cobol for Visual Studio, pois não terei tempo hábil para atualizar todos clientes nessa nova versão.
Por favor alguém poderia me ajudar e se possível enviar exemplos de como fazer isso, mesmo que seja através da DLL Capicom, que faz esse serviço de validar e assinar o XML.
atenciosamente

I was looking for a tool which generates automatically the GiroCode-QR-Code for SEPA-payments. The informations in the QR-Code needs to be in a strict order : bic, Name, iban, amount,purpose
I've found the above mentioned tool, which provides exactly what we need. But I don't know, if the use with NetExpress 5.1 would be possible and if so, how to call it correctly.
The above Information about the call was sent to me by the Tool-Provider to check first if the use is possible.
It is possible but like I stated in the earlier post this would be much easier to call in Visual COBOL which fully supports modern managed .NET code then it would be in Net Express. In Net Express in order to call this directly would require that you have the .NET add-on which only works in Visual Studio 2008. It would be possible to call it from native Net Express code but you would have to go through a .NET wrapper that you could then call through the NX COM interface.
So the answer is yes, it can be done but I cannot give you an example unless I know if your NX code is itself managed or native.
Our code is itself managed with Cobol NetExpress 5.1. We're not using Visual Cobol nor Visual Studio.
An example would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
